MICRO-STRUCTURAL AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF PULVERIZED WOOD CHARCOAL AND EGG-SHELL AS ORGANIC CARBON ADDITIVES FOR GREY CAST IRON CARBURIZATION
The use of wood charcoal as activated carbon for metal carburization is increasing because of its carbon
content percentage ranging from 50%–95%. Pulverized carbon from wood charcoal when dispersed into metals offers
excellent compression strength which improves the wear characteristics of mild steel material. It is; therefore, important
to have the knowledge of the microstructure and...
